Introduction
A Street Fighter title where Ken doesn't sit comfortably among the top tiers doesn't exist. EX2+ Ken has plastered gloves-- Easy confirms, huge damage, and unique disjointed normals. If you're learning EX2+ or just want to chill with a simpler character, Ken might be for you.
Previously, Ken was balanced with a Fireball/Uppercut philosophy: Ryu had the better fireball, and Ken had the better uppercut. In the EX series, this approach came to a head. Zoning in EX2+ looks fairly different from traditional Street Fighter: Pokes are huge, fireballs are slow, and there's plenty of options to counter projectiles. Ken naturally benefits from these system changes, and brawls his way to the top.
